Update as of March 8th, 2014 – As of now, I do NOT recommend buying this product. So far it has not worked well enough for friends who have tried it out. I leave this post up in order to caution you, and also because I want to keep track of this technology. I have no doubt that this concept will eventually become all that is advertized and I look forward to that day.
